CAC to appoint new trustees to end 30-year-old crisis

By Bisi Oladele, IbadanLeaders of the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) have indicated interest in jointly appointing nine leaders to serve as trustees of the church, to end factionalisation.The church went into crisis in 1990 over leadership, which eventually led to emergence of two factions, which have been dragging each other to court since then without a solution.But both factions set up a nine-member unification committee last November to end the 30-year old crisis.A member of the committee told The Nation that the committee has worked out an agreement that will see each faction contribute leaders that will serve as trustees for the unified church.The agreement also includes that all pending court cases will be withdrawn to enable the unified church come into being.Read Also:Tope Adeboboye, Robert Powell and Jesus ChristThis came as a faction of the Supreme Council named new officers in Ibadan yesterday to pilot its affairs.
